Questions this book answers

What are the best practices for energy management during the green transition?

Modern best practices involve a strategic focus on climate action through the adoption of green technologies that promote decarbonization. Key approaches include using situational analyses and global case studies to adapt management trends to specific industrial needs. Furthermore, integrating social awareness with technical efficiency is essential for a successful transition.

How can industries improve energy efficiency and reduce their carbon footprint?

Industries can leverage specific methodologies such as Value-Stream Mapping to manage energy efficiency policies, particularly within SMEs. Other critical strategies include implementing Waste Heat Recovery Systems (WHRS) to estimate and execute carbon reduction, optimizing combustion behavior in waste materials, and integrating renewable energy into industrial processes like wastewater treatment.

What role does exergy analysis play in sustainable energy systems?

Exergy analysis is a fundamental tool for evaluating the true thermodynamic performance of energy systems. It is used to assess the efficiency of geothermal-based combined systems, analyze under-building power stations in thermal districts, and improve the performance of advanced refrigeration cycles.

How do renewable and waste energy systems integrate with existing power technologies?

Integration is achieved through hybrid systems and advanced optimization. Examples include solar-based trigeneration systems that provide power, heating, and cooling simultaneously and the use of metaheuristic algorithms to solve Optimal Power Flow (OPF) challenges in modern electrical grids.

Which green technologies are driving decarbonization in 2026?

Current research highlights several key technologies:

• E-Fuels: Synthetic fuels are becoming vital for meeting maritime regulations and decarbonizing heavy transport.

• Next-Generation Solar: Optimization of solar radiation intensity on photovoltaic surfaces to maximize energy yield.

• Waste Energy Systems: Innovative strategies to convert waste wood and other biomass into reliable energy sources.

What policy frameworks support climate action and the green transition?

Supportive frameworks focus on both corporate and technical standards. This includes the use of the Entropy Method to evaluate the environmental and financial sustainability data of corporate companies, as well as systematic reviews of optimization studies that inform national renewable energy policies.

How are sustainable aviation and transport sectors evolving under energy transition goals?

The transport sector is evolving through specialized engineering approaches:

• Sustainable Aviation: Research focuses on aircraft propulsion systems and alternative fuels to reduce the aviation industry's footprint.

• Sustainable Maritime Design: Development of yacht and vessel designs that prioritize environmental sustainability and the adoption of E-Fuels to comply with international maritime regulations.
